Nearly four decades since the onset of the third wave, political
parties remain weak in Latin America: parties have collapsed in
much of the region, and most new party-building efforts have
failed. Why do some new parties succeed while most fail? This book
challenges the widespread belief that democracy and elections
naturally give rise to strong parties and argues that successful
party-building is more likely to occur under conditions of intense
conflict than under routine democracy. Periods of revolution, civil
war, populist mobilization, or authoritarian repression crystallize
partisan attachments, create incentives for organization-building,
and generate a 'higher cause' that attracts committed activists.
Empirically rich chapters cover diverse cases from across Latin
America, including both successful and failed cases.
